Calling all Scrapbookers....

There seem to be several members who love to scrapbook their trips. Lets see some pictures of your scrapbooks. Jeff your pre trip book was so nice that I can not wait to see some of your scrapbook pages.

Here's the layouts I did for our 2003 trip. Sorry they aren't the best. That was when I first started scrapbooking. And yes I know Cinderella is spelled wrong. But didn't realize it till after the fact. LOL

Thanks for sharing Jess. Love your pages! Another question for you scrapbookers. Do you have your books out where they can be easily seen? I have mine on a table in the living room. You have to walk through our living room to get to the family room. I would say 95% of everyone that walks into our house looks through those books. I look through them quite often myself.

I never miss an opportunity to go through ours! I've mentioned it before, but my scrapbooks are kinda non-traditional - I save everything (and I mean, everything!) from our trips and work them in. So here are some sample pages - apologies for the # of pics - I got carried away mickey Shocking, I know....


I've got 5 books - one for each year we've gone, with the exception of 2003. I have nothing from that trip! No idea what happened - I am guessing I lost everything during the Decade of Relocation from 1997 - 2007.....


The index cards were something I made to help pass the time. They were a countdown, starting at 30 days out. I took pictures from our last trip, glued them on the card, typed up a note, and left one card on Joe's keyboard every morning until the day of the trip. Hee hee...


I really do save everything - that's a popcorn box from the MK during Mickey's Not So Scary party, our entry wristbands, and cards from pins I bought.

All our books our in The Disney Room, and I go in there often to just look through them.

Those are really cool man. I dont see how they are untraditional though. Scrapbooking is just making memories of the event your scrapping. Great job man!

Thanks everyone Smile I will have to post some more although I've only scrapped one of the three trips we have been on. I have to get cracking on that. Lol. And in regards to having them out. My scrapbooks are in our living room so they get looked at every once in awhile. But I scrapbook everything... Not just Disney stuff

You all are just amazing! I wish I had the energy to make them. For our honeymoon I had awesome intentions and bought everything I needed..and then quit after the first page. I still have all the stuff so maybe one day I'll sit down and make it.

Awesome pages!! I save all kinds of stuff from trips too Jeff, you are not the only one. And I actually really like your style of scrapping. I always say my way is kind of different too but I like what Mase said, it's all about putting them memories in one place.

My books are in our living room.. I make mine by year (2008, 2009...) and have pages in there for our trips to Disneyland and DCA. Our WDW trip is going to be it's own book though because it is a much longer trip. Now that I have done all this talking.. *blushes* I do still plan on taking pics of my pages and showing them, LoL.

Thanks! Good point and noted! It works for me and I smile every time I look through them mickey I typically dump everything out on the floor and then start the organization process.

Jess, I love your pages!

Ok, scrappy - let loose! clapping And anyone else too!

Jeff, I really love your pages too. You really do save everything and use it! I tend to save a lot but I do not usually end up using it. Like I tell my daughter in laws, there is no right or wrong way to scrapbook. Anything and everything goes.
So far I have only scrapbooked trips were we have gone with someone else. But after seeing Jeff''s I think I will go for it on our next trip alone.
I have three Disney scrapbooks. Two I did the normal scrapbooking way and one I tried doing on line. I like that one but it was not as much fun as traditional scrapbooking.

Love them! You guys have me all pumped up to make a big one for the next trip. I've only made small ones, and I've done a couple like the one Scrappy did online for my mom from trips we've gone on for Mother's Day, Birthday etc.

Where do you get the Disney themed materials for your scrapbooks? Besides the stuff you pick up at the park Wink

Truthfully, most of my stuff does not come from Disney. I go to either Michaels or AC Moore Craft stores. I also order online from scrapbooking 101. Or at least I think that is what it is called. I also have one of those Cri-cut things. I bought a Disney cartridge for it and it will make the Disney shapes and letters. Not sure of the real name of the machine thing either though lol.

Same as scrappy - we often get our materials from Michael's or AC Moore.

If I got the cricut thingie I would never go to work or come out of my Disney room. We got one for Joe's Mom a few years ago for Christmas, and got her a Disney cartrige as well. I covet it....

Jess has the Cricut, and I got her this program on her laptop... you hook the Cricut up to the laptop and she can create patterns, letters... whatever she wants without the constraints of the cartridge.

Note that when I say I hate you both, it's really just jealousy. That's awesome!
